Ontario premier-designate Kathleen Wynne is hoping to sit down with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford in the next couple of days after the two had a “very nice exchange” at the Toronto Board of Trade’s annual dinner Monday evening.

Speaking to the press at Queen’s Park on Tuesday, Ms. Wynne took a question from a reporter who snapped a photo of her and the mayor looking “incredibly uncomfortable” together at the dinner.

“I’m surprised that you thought it was awkward because in fact we had a very nice exchange and we agreed that we wanted to get together,” said Ms. Wynne. “And Mayor Ford asked me if I wanted him to come up here, or if I wanted to come to city hall. I said, either way for me. So my hope is that over the next couple of days that we’ll be able to meet.”
